Travels, Art, Teaching...

Stories of my travels across the globe that enrich my experience with teaching and making art. You can find me at my art studio in the FAB Studios 314 E.Holly Street, Bellingham WA, and shop with Rachel's Whimsical Art on the Annual Holiday Festival of the Arts!

“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh the thinks you can think up if only you try.” Dr. Seuss

When I imagine what the winter season brings, I think of many favorite things. Things such as hot beverages, soft scarves, twinkling lights, writing letters, baked goods, warm cozy fires in the home with loved ones, and various ways to be an artist or a crafter with making things, taking classes, learning, and fun! We all need to find some quiet time to find peace, share art and gifts, and just enjoy new memories with our loved ones. I’ve a few events and free kids & families art activities to share with you!

Free Kids Art @ Allied Arts 38th Annual Holiday Festival!

Picture
There are FREE Children & Family Art workshops for you to enjoy on every weekend between 12:00pm – 3:00pm! The Holiday Festival is open now through December 24th for both the weekend art workshops and to shop the local artists’ booths for the winter holidays. What’s better than this?  I’ll be teaching some Free Children & Family Art Workshops that you can join me with the fun! On both Saturday & Sunday, December 16th & 17th – Jewel Shrink-a-Dink with Bling!  Make something special for a gift or for yourself.

Located at 4145 Meridian Street , Bellingham, WA. (While it’s free, donations are always accepted for the Teaching Artists and Allied Arts of Whatcom County.) I hope to see you there, and you can find out more online: http://www.alliedarts.org/holiday-festival/


Children’s Winter Art & Painting Parties!

Picture
While you may already know that I teach after school arts and enrichment programs with both Bellingham Arts Academy for Youth (BAAY), and Allied Arts of Whatcom County, and teach at Whatcom Community College for ComArtEd, I also teach privately and do Painting Parties at your home. Just last week, I was a guest at a friend’s home for their daughters 10th Birthday Party and we painted rainbow unicorns in acrylics onto canvas. It was such a wonderful group of kids, who had so much fun making art together! Do you have a birthday party for a child or want an adult paint and sip party? Please contact me via email or online for details. All of my classes are listed here as well: https://rachelsimpsonart.weebly.com/art-classes.html

If you’re interested in learning more about the BAAY EduArts program for kids art classes, (winter classes begin shortly after the holidays in January), or want to see if your school participates, feel free to contact (you can also ask your school to see if they participate), http://www.baay.org/


Bellingham’s Dakota Art Gallery’s 6X6 Art Fundraiser!

Picture
Just in time for the holidays and during the month of December, our local Dakota Art store’s gallery is showing over 30 different artists  art work in 6”x6” sized pieces for sale & to raise funds for Allied Arts of Whatcom County. I have two paintings up for you to enjoy, and maybe you can even take one home or gift! Take a moment and visit them at Dakota Art, 1324 Cornwall Ave. Bellingham, WA 98225.
